Traditional Latino feel
Costa Rica's Quepos is, for many tourists, merely an entry point to the marvellous Manuel Antonio National Park. But this small town should not be overlooked.
Exuding an olde-worlde charm that is impossible to find in many of the neighbouring cities that have been impacted by Manuel's appearance on the world tourism stage, Quepos is proof that you can still find glimmers of traditional Latin America here.
Downtown, you'll locate a grid of dusty streets that are easy to walk along, with a veritable smorgasbord of little shops and boutiques, bakeries and grocers to explore.
Make an effort to get out and about - the food is particularly good here. Try ceviche, a typical local dish consisting of raw, diced fish in a lime juice broth. It's generally cheap and tastes delicious.
If you're seeking a get-away from the touristic trail leading to Manuel Antonio, Quepos should definitely feature prominently on your cruise itinerary.
